Security issue with Google account.. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else, or if anyone has any ideas about what I should do.
I recently discovered that somehow a coworker of mine company credit card, in which I have no access to, was attached to my google wallet account.. Several of my android market purchases were being charged to the card without my knowing. I talked to someone at the android Market help center, and was told that if he made a purchase with that card from an online company that uses Google checkout to process their orders, and I had logged into my account on that computer recently than the card and the account could get linked. How about could this be! Doesn't seem very secure to me. Obviously this is causing problems for me at work, and I'm having a hard time getting answers from Google. Any ideas? Thanks for reading. Feel free to pm me.

yes, it can happen on the company proxies, as in your IT is keeping an eye on everyone in the company using the internet

Multiple Market Account Purchase problems

Hey guys, been having this problem that's been killing me, so I'll run it by everyone, and hopefully I can get a better idea of what's going on.
1. I purchased Titanium Backup Pro KEY from the marketplace using ONE gmail address.
2. I don't use the above address anymore *(Plus my gChat contacts are with another email address).
So, any way to get the apps from account #1 into my #2 gmail account?
Bump, still need help. Thanks.

No, there is no way to do it.. It isn't a "Problem"
It just wasnt made to do it that way.
And I'm asking for a way to add or transferapps from one account to another.
Am I being asinine or is saving money from not having to buy all my apps all over again on another account just being too old fashioned?
AS far as I'm concerned, yes it is a defect.
I'm not asking for am opinion on the matter, I'm asking for a solution.
Thanks.

You may not always get the answer you would like to hear.
But like I said.. You can't transfer apps to other accounts.
No solution.
Not a defect.
Just not made that way.
Like the other guy said, Welcome to Android!
Sigh, okay, I tried. Thanks for both of your input. I'll give google a call.
Much appreciated.

Google account disabled!

For some reason my Google account had been disabled! When I go to the website and try to fix it, it just keeps looping thru the help. I can't access my Google store, gmail. Etc. Any ideas?

Had the same issue, emailed them and about 6 hours later it was fixed...something about my account was compromised. Just curious can you get into Google play?

No I can't get into google play. Can't do anything. I follow the steps and it doesn't do anything. Just keeps circling back to the help guide. I can't find an email or phone number to call for help

This is for Google Play support, but they may be able to help you figure out why your account was disabled:

They'll call you.
Off topic but I like your user name and avatar lol my dad is a big harley fan (I believe he has an 03 road king 100th anniversary edition that has some special shade of blue) not to mention he got me into motorcycles too, but I don't know anywhere near what he does

I received an email friday about comprised Google account. Something about gtalk something I don't use. It told me to go thru the help site to fix it. Just clicked on the third link and it asked me to reset my password and all was fixed. Wouldn't let me log on until I did.

Google play has been a bit 'sketchy' as of late. I had a couple problems (solved with a telephone call) and have read about several others.
Well I had searched and read that a password rest fixed some Ppl problems. So I did the forgot password link, they sent a code to my phone, I changed password and it was fine again!? I'm just glad I got it back. I haven't tried the play store, I will, and if any problems I will report back. Thanks for the tips!

Yeah about 6 seconds after seeing it. Its most likely warez as you have to be a SGIII user to get it or trick the system, which is considered warez I hope no one losses an account over it

Your right, but its a promotion, most likely a marketing thing to get more users. If the links go back up that's fine, but there are certain things that can't be posted, and with it having its own DB framework files,that could be the issue

Personally, if the people who did it got banned, and weren't paying for any space, no loss. New email, or seriously Google Drive is where it's at now, as soon as they add an easier way to share links I was going to drop Dropbox anyways.

I doubt it will be considered Warez considering the S-Voice and All the Apps were more-so then this.
man this was a mission for me. a quick search on google will get you the patched files.
however when i flashed the zip (or manually added the files and chmod'd them) rebooting my phone would give me a bootloop. clearing cache helped but seems to ruin my link2sd. after flashing backups and trying it different ways, i found that i was able to clear cache, boot phone enough to log into dropbox, and got my bonus gb from there. restored my backup a final time and am good to go.
hope this helps someone.
That's weird I never had a issue at all
Sent from my PG06100 using Xparent ICS Blue Tapatalk 2
Ya I still can't quite figure out what was going on. Upon reboot I would get low disk and everything running like crap. I could see link2sd working still but my free space dropped to 750k lol
I've never used dropbox
If I install the apk, and get the 50gb,
will dropbox eventually cancel my account because I used that apk?

50gb of Free Box Storage. No catch

So it looks like I somehow have the ability to give out 50gb of free storage from box.com. Not sure why its letting me or how many people it will let me give it to but if you want it just leave an email and ill start sending em out in order until it wont let me anymore. Just didnt want it to go to waste. 50gb is a ton of storage and you can also grab the box.com app from the play store. Peace out my ninjas
UPDATE: I have not forgotten about everyone. Something is wrong with the page where you input the email addresses of the people you are sharing the promo with. Apparently the 'box' people are aware of the problem but have yet to fix it. In the meantime there is a work around. Sign up for the standard free account and after you have done that send me a pm with your email so I can foward it to box.com support people and they will upgrade your account to 50gb and it happens rather quickly, within a few minutes. See the link below and read the comments so you can see this is the way it is being done right now and it appears to have worked fine for everyone so far. I've noticed a few people worried about being spammed since I am new. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET SPAMMED. Just trying to hook a few people up that's all.

Nobody is gonna get spammed. Something is wrong with the promo page where u input the email addresses to of the people ur giving the promo to. This is confirmed here https://support.box.com/entries/234...nds-and-Co-Workers-Today-page-is-not-working- and it is still not working. You need to sign up for a regular box account and once u have done that pm me your email address that you associated with you box account and they will upgrade the account to 50gb manually. From reading the comments at the above link this method has worked just fine. Sorry for the hold up but I wasn't aware of this issue when I posted this.

A public forum apology

Ok. This isn't something that happens to me and not being able to correct a mistake is also something that doesn't happen. So here I go...
There is a closed thread down there involving how to get a hotspot to work. In the thread there was a comment explaining how the link inserted was to a paid app and he didn't understand why it was there. In his vague post I assumed he didn't want to pay; hence my comment after. I was unaware that the link was indeed a link to an already paid for app: confirmed by Google play. I am not one that touts downloading or accepting pirated anything: songs, software, anything that takes money from developers, musicians, etc. When I realized my error of downloading and accepting that software...which by the way does work, so support that developer...I uninstalled it and went to play and bought it. I just felt I needed to post this because I felt bad after the other thread was closed. I buy everything I use. Whether it comes to books, magazines, games, apps...I pay because I feel whoever created what I'm using should be compensated. I don't support piracy...and never will. If you made it to the end of this thank you for holding out.
